TAN Direction St. Augustine of Hippo Part 1: Historical Background

St. Augustine of Hippo Part 1: Historical Background

Join TAN Publisher Conor Gallagher and Dr. Paul Thigpen to examine why the life of St. Augustine is so intimately fascinating and relatable to people throughout the centuries, even today perhaps more than ever. Learn what precipitated St. Augustine’s famous conversion, why he is known as the Doctor of Grace and why St. Jerome said “Augustine established anew the ancient faith.” And discover why Augustine’s inspiring story is also his mother St. Monica’s story and consider the ramifications for your own life and relationships.
